The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

Thick smoke billowed above the Yao residence, and screams of people were heard one after another on the street, which was not very noisy to begin with.

He Sangrou calmly locked the door from the outside with several locks - her confidants who were asked to be sold by Yao's mother were actually just sent to the farm as a dowry. When the Yao family was feasting and getting drunk, He Sangrou had already taken the few who were most loyal to her to lock the gates everywhere and poured enough kerosene everywhere.

As soon as Yao Sanyi left the house, they set the entire Yao Mansion on fire without saying a word.

The little girl in the nanny's arms was sleepy and had no idea what was going on. She just rubbed her eyes and asked her mother how long she would have to stay at her grandparents' home before coming back.

"Maybe I'll have to stay for a long time." He Sangrou's voice was very calm, with a sense of dead silence that was difficult to describe in words.

Except for Yao San and his youngest daughter, all people with the surname Yao were locked in this mansion that was destined to be burned to ashes, including He Sangrou's biological eldest son.

She had thought about sending both her children away in advance, but her son was more attached to his grandmother who doted on him, and refused to go back to his "useless" mother's yard no matter what. When he started crying, he imitated Yao's mother and cursed, kicked and beat his biological mother. He Sangrou, who was already extremely depressed, chose to give up on him completely.

Only the young daughter cannot leave her mother.

Facing her daughter, He Sangrou's expression softened a bit: "When you go to your grandparents' house, you have to listen to your grandparents. Do you understand?"

The little girl yawned and nodded: "Yeah!"

"Take the young lady back and tell father that your daughter is unfilial and is still causing trouble for him at this time." He Sangrou said, her eyes turned cold again. She turned around and stopped looking at her daughter who had no idea what was going on. She weighed the key in her hand and played with it for a few times. Then she raised her arm high and threw the key over the high wall, using almost all her strength, into the inner courtyard that was already burning with a crackling sound.

There was an iron chain tied to the gate of the Yao Mansion, and the copper locks hanging on the iron chain had completely lost the possibility of being opened from the outside after her action.

Because enough kerosene was poured and many flammable objects were placed in the aisle, by the time the Jinwu Guards who were responsible for patrolling this area hurriedly arrived, the entire Yao Mansion had already been engulfed in flames.

He Sangrou was standing alone among the crowd who had discovered the fire and were spontaneously trying to rescue people. The countless noisy sounds in her ears could not drown out the screams and cries for help coming from the mansion, which suddenly made her feel much better.

Therefore, when Chu Liupo, who had taken in the youngest daughter of the Yao family, hurriedly rode a horse from the He Mansion, she only saw such a calm but crazy figure standing alone in the panicked crowd, and was frightened by the weird smile on her face, and her back shuddered and felt a chill.

"Aunt." Chu Liupo's horse was led by her family to the intersection, and she lifted her skirt and ran over. "Are you okay?"

Today, He Da was on duty at the public stock exchange. His brothers were having a fuss over General He's sudden order to split the family. For a while, no one was willing to come to the Yao Mansion to visit. Chu Liupo originally wanted to come and take a look because she was worried that He Sangrou would cause trouble that would implicate her own family. Of course, she also wanted to avoid the chaos in the mansion. After all, their eldest branch had gained a lot of benefits from the split. However, she did not expect... that the Yao Mansion would catch fire.

Although she didn't like He Sangrou, Chu Liupo didn't want to see this annoying aunt suffer such a misfortune.

"Me?" He Sangrou looked at the niece-in-law whom she had always disliked, and said in a bad tone, "Of course I'm fine. I'm extremely happy. Today is the happiest and most enjoyable day for me in recent days."

"......Aunt?" Chu Liupo looked at her suspiciously.

He Sangrou smiled and said, "It's really refreshing to see the people you hate die. If I die one day, you will understand."

"......I am different from you. Although I do hate you, I have never thought about......" She pursed her lips and turned to look at the Yao Mansion where flames were dancing. Chu Liupo thought about the worst possible outcome for He Sangrou, which was to be completely abandoned by General He and then sent to a temple for cultivation, or to be placed under house arrest for the rest of her life.

As long as General He could give up his beloved daughter, stop being so partial to her, and take care of her...

Now seeing He Sangrou acting so crazy, Chu Liupo, combined with some meaning revealed in her words, couldn't help but feel terrified, but at the same time, he actually had the intention to kill this crazy woman in his heart.

“Yes, you are indeed different from me.”

He Sangrou laughed foolishly and said, "When you were talking to my nephew, my sister-in-law praised you several times for being a good girl with a cheerful personality. Although you are also outgoing, you are not so arrogant and not so overbearing."

"So I hated you from the beginning."

He Sangrou looked at her and said, "Because I am spoiled, overbearing, and I like to stir up trouble and bully others. I don't know how to restrain myself. I like to bully others and do whatever I want by relying on my father's favor."

"No one has ever bullied me like this."

"there has never been!"

He Sangrou raised her head and looked at the familiar figure running over from the other side of the road. Her expression was slightly moved, but her body remained firmly fixed in place. After a glance, she turned around and said to Chu Liupo, who was shocked: "Even though I love him so much, I never allow him to climb over my head!"

"But even though I love him so much, he still wants to cheat on me and thinks I'm useless... I'm really becoming less and less able to help him, but how can I allow him to abandon me like this?"

"I like him so much and never bully him, but in the end, he is standing with his family members who only know how to take advantage of him, and his concubines who only know how to flirt with him!"

"I know he doesn't like me anymore."

"You don't like me, but you still bully me."

“But I still like him.”

"That's why I didn't burn him with me."

He Sangrou opened up completely to this niece-in-law who had always been at odds with her and hated her: "Do you think I have enough affection for him?"

Chu Liupo was so shocked by her horrifying train of thought that she was speechless: "...She liked him and killed him..."

"I like him, what does it have to do with those people?" He Sangrou said with a smile, "I will make him understand that it is because I like him very much that I let him off the hook. I am the most domineering young lady, isn't this enough to prove that I love him so much?"
